About the show:

Featuring the works of Dr. Seuss, Seussical Jr weaves the stories of "Horton Hears a Who" with "Horton Sits on an Egg" along with many others into a beautiful story of friendship, loyalty, and love. Despite all odds, Horton and Gertrude band together to save the Whos, free Horton, and restore peace and unity to the Jungle of Nool! The charming story of Seussical teaches us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs.
